Silent Candle
"The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Th-That's all I had heard, I swear. We just wanted to see if it was true!" The young man squirmed in his bindings. The rope around his limbs was thick and interwoven through an old wooden chair. In front of him was pitch black space in the darkest of night, a phenomenon that prevented him from seeing anything in front of him. He paused all movement as he heard the cabin's floors slowly creak in front of him, forcing his imagination to only wonder what would approach him.

The Witch's Den
My dad and I arrived at the Appalachian Mountains; They rumored the mountains to be haunted. The stories were that witches used to live here, practiced black magic, and performed forbidden rituals. The land was cursed and people said the past witches haunt the mountains. My dad worked for a paranormal blogging company called The Sinister. He brought me along to check out the area while he took photos and wrote a story for the blog.

The Widow's Cabin
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Tom had heard the ghost story many times but never believed it to be true. As skeptical as he was, though, there was a part of him, looking at the lit candle now, that thought . . . maybe. But no, it was impossible; it must have been some stupid high schooler playing a cruel prank on the town.

Who’s There?
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. It was an old hunting cabin just outside our home’s property. But even still, what I’m going to tell you, circumstance and all, will make you believe that there’s something more in this world beyond just creepers and strangers lurking in the woods. That’s a lot of true crime bull crap, because in this case, a priest or maybe a white witch could’ve been of better use.

The Night of the Lizard Man
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Then Matthew, with a displeasing and painful voice, "Come on dad! Not another scary story!" "Well son, I will wait until later tonight because the night has to set in and really give tone to the story I'm about to tell you!" I replied as my eye locked on the cabin with the burning candle light. As if no one took notice, or didn't want to because everyone was worried about getting settled in after a long trip of unscheduled delays.

Love grows still
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Ah, I see the corners of your mouth twitch. You think yourself familiar with tales of this nature, but I fear I must disappoint you. Come closer, that you might hear me better. The wind blows with ill will, tonight, and we would do well to stay near each other. I feel it pulling at my words, seeking to carry them to those who would despise our presence here, those who would stop me telling their secrets.

Before the fire burns out
“The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window.” Erick rolled his eyes and groaned. Jules shone the flashlight from under his chin as he told the story while they sat around the bonfire. Jules had been telling him the same story since they were children and although there would be slight changes in the details, it always ended the same: everyone died except for the protagonist who later learned that he was dead and had been reliving the same fate every night.

Whispers and memories
Part 1 Whispers in the dark, telling me to look out. I catch my name on the edge of these same conversations. The sweet voice, louder than the others, tells me it is just in my head, I should take the pills, it isn’t me they are looking for. But that is why I disguise myself when I do the terrible things, the things I must. I know they are terrible the TV says so. She is there so they don’t drive me mad, but I’ve slipped up. My name is on the wind, someone knows, the description is too close for them not to notice.

Seeing Truth
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. And among the bare frozen trees it didn't make much of a difference after sundown when you couldn't even see your breath freeze in front of you but it was there, glowing in its small space like a promise.
